The challenge

How we approached it

1Ran a single event captain across all four days so kitchen timelines, buffet resets and live-counter staffing stayed in one head.
2Menu-mapped each function to its energy: light Rajasthani for haldi, high-theatre live counters for sangeet, Awadhi vegetarian for mehendi, full multi-cuisine gala for reception.
3Deployed six live counters on reception night — chaat, tandoor, live pasta, wood-fired pizza, Chinese wok and jalebi-rabdi.
4Staffed 65 uniformed captains, stewards and chef assistants; briefed twice daily with the venue's F&B lead.
